Product Description

This is my fourth song cycle in Latin after "De Mulieribus Claris," "De Mundi Systemate" and "Apicius de re Coquinaria."

In some ways the topic is similar to my setting of Sir Isaac Newton's essays on the gravitational forces between the Sun and the planets in "De Systemate Mundi" (2021). In this case, I am setting to music texts from Galileo Galilei's manuscript on his observations through his new telescope of the Moon, Jupiter, and other planetary objects.

The texts I have chosen for my cycle are excerpts from the original "Sidereus Nuncios" in Latin by Galileo Galilei, published in 1610, and the English translation by Edward Stafford Carlos, published in 1880.
